A Couple of New Years Anecdotes.

Boston Record.
One day in the year at least is a happy thing
to have for gentlemen to make a round Of calls,
and if in many cases they think it pays their
social obligations for the year, yet it is far bet
ter to do that than to leave them wholly unpaid.
But the Historian did not start in on this sub
ject to preach sermon, but rather to tell little
story at the expense of gentleman who is
counted one of the most courtly men in society.
When younger man than he is now, and not
fully the full meaning of everything that he says
he started out one New Years day to make a Sc
ries of calls, and during the afternoon happened
in at very delightful house. When he was
slipping his champagne the hostess playfully
asked:
"Mr. j, do you not find this making so
many calls rather tiresomeP
Yes. madam" he answered, 'it would get a
little so If did not manage so well; but, you see
l take the precauton to save the best places un-
til evening"
It does not take any more than the mention of
that reply even in these days to cause J-s
face to redden with very perceptible flush.
That reminds the Historian of what Senator
Don Cameron aiGc lene New Years day in Wash
ington when his wife was receiving in great
style and the champagne was flowing very freely,
and Don himself somewhat exhilarated at
the outlook for the year. A party of newspaper
correspondents, three in number, who knew
Mrs. Cameron very we'll socially, and were all
of them, in every respect, the equal of her liege
lord. had called to pay their respects to Mrs.
Cameron. Under her pleasant guidance they
found their way to the lunch room, where they
spoke to the noble Senator, and were received
in return with the pleasant greeting
Hello. | am glad to see you. suppose you
are round picking up items, Amt you2"
The spirit of which this is sample may indi-
cate why it is that the honorable Don Is not
more popular in Washington than he is.

ASSAULTING AN EDITOR.
The Vice-President of Big Railroad, with
the Aid of His Brother, Whips an Editor

SPRINGFIELD No.. Jan. "a most sensa-
tional fight occurred in this city this morning in
the Office of the O'Day brothers, in the City
Block, in which John O'Dav second vice-presi-
dent of the st. Louis & San Francisco railroad.
and his brother, Ed ODay. and Mr.. Strothers,
editor of the Evening Leader, participated. The
Leader had been claiming recently that the
Morning Herald was owned by John ODay, and
while pretending to support tine Democratic
ticket it has in reality, through the influence Of
the Frisco road, used its power to defeat that
ticket Last Friday the Leader published an
editorial attacking Mr.. O'Day personally. This
brought Mr.. ODay to this city. and this morn
ing he and his brother met Mr.. Strothers on the
street. and invited him into O'Days office to talk
over a little matter of business. John O'Day
drew from beneath his pocket q paper. Mr..
Strothers said, which proved to be a retraction
of the Leaders former statements. and asked
Mr. Strothers to sign it. He refused and Mr.
ODay then struck the editor on the head with a
walking stick, and partly stunned him, but he
closed upon his assailant and f1oored him. Ed
ODay then joined In the fight and knocked
Strothers down. and afterward inflicted several
ugly wounds upon the latter's face and body
Strothers says that John ODay then drew re-
volver and would have shot him but for the
timely interference Of Walker Crenshaw and
Mr. McGrngor, who separated the combatants.
After the fracas the O'Day brothers drove rap.
idly to the Frisco depot where the railroad
magnate took a train for st. Louis. Warrants
have been issued for the arrest of the ODay
brothers Strothers will survive his injuries.

Baby Insurance Enjoined.

New YORK. Jan. 3.-Deputy Attorney general
Post recently moved before Justice Barrett, in
Supreme Court chambers. to have the Globe
Mutual Benefit Association restrained from car
rying on its business, upon the ground that the
company was insovent and that the insurance
of infants IS practiced by the association, is
unauthorized by law. Judge Barrett handed
down decision to-day in the case. He says:
1.-The business of this company is limited to that
of life and casualty insurance upon the coopera-
tive and assessment plan. Only members who
accept the contract of obligations of such mem
bership can be thus insured Infants are not
eligible as they cannot make contract.
Parents cannot insure their childrens lives as
members in such co operative or assessment
companies Only members can be insured, and
an infant cannot be member of society and
vote" The company's regulations are illegal on
the subject of insuring children, was the con
cluslon OF the Judge Judge Barrett concludes
by saying that this branch of the company's
business must, therefore, be enjoined.

THE AND0VER HERETICS.
Smyths Colleagues Appear and Enter Pleas
Similar to that Made by Their Leader.

Boston, JAN 3-In the Andover heresy trial.
to-day, after some prelminaries, the case against
Prot. j. I. Tucker was taken up Professor
Tucker read a statement, of which the following
is a part: Il accept for myself, as do those who
will follow me. the defense made by our honored
colleague. Professor Smyth, on ali the poin ts
which are equally applicable to all Of US. My
defense is that of old; it covers my personal and
my official relations to the creed. l answer that
the theology of progressive orthodoxy is nat
ural and legitimate outcome of the creed of the
seminary, especially on the point of greatest
contention, that of probation for all men under
the gospel"
Professor Tucker was followed by Professor
Harris, who said, in substance: 1.-THE doctrine
of salvation by the light of nature, which our
prosecutors insist that the creed teaches was
when the creed was made, unitarian argument
and every professor is pledged to oppose the
Unitarian and Universalist theories. The in
depreciation which our opponents insist shall be
put upon the creed is that only those who in
this life share in the blessings OF grace are ever
effectually called. According to this interpreta-
ton. by logical result, all infants and the mass
of the heather are lost What better meaus
can be taken to build up universalism9 AS for
future probation, never believed that any man
has second probation under the gospel"
Professor Hncks, being the next respondent.
stated that he had been Entrusted with the work
of expounding and interpreting the Scriptures
at the seminary. He had never reached conclu-
sops at variance with the principles of the
creed. The provision made by the founders
showed that they expected interpreters to be
progressive and to keep abreast of contempora-
| neous biblical criticism. 1t was their purpose
that the creed should be brought to the test of
the word of God contained in the Old and New
Testaments, and this he had honestly and co.,
scientiously sought.
Professor Churchill said: "When I took the
creed had heard it was an ironclad thing, and
so consulted Prof Austin Phelps in the mat
ter. He said: You must take it as the rest of
| us have taken it-in it's historic sense, and as
containing the substance of doctrine If a mar
row construction is to deny me the benefits of
| new light am not willing to remain and be
bound by it."
Professor Churchills address was ruled out of
order, as his exception to the jurisdiction of the
visitors had not been passed upon. The hearing
| was then declared adjourned sine die.

Labouchere's Glass of Champagne.

When at Frankfort had the honor of serving
under the late Sir Alexander Malet, and GER
in the service. His legation was accredited to
several of the minor courts, and at one of them
was even more appreciated than my chief. This
was why. Occasionally there was a ball
at the court which we were expected
to attend. At my first ball supper found my

more than one glass, $50 you see, II / drink

to the word After this there used to be quite

A PRICED COMMUNION SERVICE.
One Once Used by the Pope Presented to
Bishop Becker.


Bishop Becker
Augusta ga Chronicle.
The rector Of the American College in Rome,
Italy, recently obtained for the Right Rev. DR..
Becker. Bishop OF Savannah, magnificent com
munion service, consisting of chaice. cruets and
the usual accompaniment formerly belonging to
his Eminence, Carmine Cardinal Merosi-G ori.
The set was presented to him by the Empress of
Austria upon his promotion to the cardinalate,
after being ambassador from the Pontifcal
court, where his abilities were fully known and
acknowledged. The pieces are, therefore, worthy
of further description.
The chalice is solid silver, with gold cup and
paten or golden plate used as covering and to
contain the host Both are deliberately carved
the former about fourteen inches high, Ro-
man in its style, and having elegantly de-
signed figures of the cruciixion. the scourging
at the pillar, the nativity of our Lord, as well
emblems belonging to or representing the last
supper The paten, or gold plate, has a beauti-
full medallion picture of the washing of the dis
ciples' feet by their Master. On the cruets, or
small pitchers for wine and water, there are, on
the first, carved picture of the messengers
sent to report concerning the fertility of the land
of Canaan, and their return with a huge cluster
of grapes upon lever. plumbers, xiii, "a On
the second there is very appropriate figure Of
Moses striking the rock. whence the waters gush
forth. Exodus, xviii g. On the basin and bell
equally beautiful and emblematic drawings are
found.
The whole work is quite in keeping with that
seen Oh Heuais III nome, whero IL certainly Is
brought to artistic perfection. AS it was never
contemplated that the chapelle. or set, would
| change hands, but rather be kept in the family
AS an heirloom in the strictest sense of the
word. there is nothing common made to sell
| about it. The Holy Father, Leo XIII, used it.
and while it now belongs to the Bishop, the
Cathedral Of Savannah has the honor of possess
ing this treasure for the altar on festival occa-
sions. 1t will not be kept there, however, but
will be safely secured elsewhere.
Under the general laws of the United States
and custom house rules, as work of art, the
set came naturally enough not being for sale,
free of duty, though the box must have been
opened roughly when in bond in Savannah.
The inspectors are required to open all packages,
boxes, ETC., but the lock was needlessly broken
| flor the key had been forwarded from Italy, and
could easily have been obtained) and otherwise
the case was useessly injured-an act of thought
| lessness or vandalism for which there is no pal
| iation.

To Do Away with Walters.



Some OF our milionaires who are looking
around for extravaganza ways Of spending their
money should get up dining -focm on the plan
of the Madison SQUARE Theater stage. To save
the fiuttering of servants around the room. they
should have the table arranged to drop through
trap-door, and each course could be spread on
the floor below, and then sent back to its proper
place. The late King of Bavaria had the dining
room in one of his Alpine palaces arranged in
this fashion. When course was finished, the
table disappeared and the guests charted with
one another across the vacant space; and when
the table made ready again, il was shot up
through the floor and the meal was resumed.
